This is Shawn's story. A talented actor, musician, and beloved son who was taken from this world so early. This site is dedicated to the loving memory of Shawn, his accomplishments, his will to survive and other stories of loved ones who have experienced TBI. The question can't be answered as to why promising lives sometimes
end in a heartbeat but their memories are still relevant today and they will never be forgotten.
